I had a dream about you
As real as life can seem
And why should I awake
If you are waiting there for me

Your beauty does not cease
Through pain or ecstasy
And I will not let go, here
If you'll remain with me.

There's mystery in your eyes
as clouds by a midnight moon
Fantasies uplift your mind
As real, as your heart blooms

So, why am I so lucky,
to have these thoughts of thee ?
To know you, is to love you,
and I am not asleep

When your heart breaks, the shards fall into your spirit, piercing your soul!

Often simple mistakes cost us so much joy, of course the payment can be taken from us over our lifetime.
We carry pain like a secret note safely tucked away but always near.
I can read aloud my suffering but it will never describe my struggle.
I am tangled within from a love without and she mangled her heart, because she never held back.
So I am broken again, like I'm living a loop and because I was late, her sails had took wind.

My home is now empty and her backs to my view and never did she turn to say,
I loved you

Beauty is often lost
Just to be picked up by wondering youths.
No petal unturned each torn away and set free.
Where the fragrant prayers rise from the discarded sound of each love me not.
May each step be softer for those who follow.
May freshly pruned branches be placed around your intimate tables with new wine and laughter

Why when life can be so hard, confidence destroyed in me
I had some faith in who I was, but nothing's as it seems
And when I thought I had someone, none to bolster me
These struggles tell of tale's, or maybe loss of dream's

Who's fighting for my love and defends me when I'm down
I search without condition, am I lost and can't be found
Yes, peace and joy have safety, but vanished with out a sign
Within my worldly battles there's none to hear my plight

Why not mimic ugly and what they do to one another
Am I just a cynic in my battle against the other's
A war cry of a cricket for the wounded's dreams
Its hard to wage a war that's right, when your left without a team

Warm hope in whom to hold, when the frigid bites
This is life, it's ways are cold, choose wise who's on your side
For those who only fight for self will never pay you mind
They'll strip you of your covers, leave you sleepless in the night

Wounds have left me unprotected, adrift upon the Sea
You quickly pushed me off the plank, now a line you throw to me
Do I grab this hand of risk or shall I die to thee
I'll sink beneath the murky pain, its rushing calm I breathe

Accessories of love on confidence attire
From a Mate, a friend, the confidant, you held up to the fire
Commitment to these dreams keeps no time for the fear
The breath of shared desire, whispers in my ear

Stick to your investment, great loves have all took work
Focussing on others, somehow mends the hurt
But nurse me with reassurance, shower this loving man
For this is what I long for, as broken as I am
